Jerry Newbrey Teaching Award
Dr. Jerry Newbrey was an exceptional and much beloved professor who taught anatomy and histology at the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine until he died in a tragic mountaineering accident. Jerry was passionate about students and teaching. He was infamous for his creativity in the classroom and unforgettable sense of humor. Jerry left his mark on all who knew him – students, colleagues, and the college. This award was initiated after his untimely death to honor his memory and to recognize an increased number of College of Veterinary Medicine faculty who provide excellent teaching in WSU’s pre-clinical DVM curriculum.
